Abstract

The aqueous organo iodine derived from sucrose could be produced from reaction of sucrose, iodine and red phosphorous in a set reflux equipment on 98oC for 15 minutes. After the reaction time was over this mixture was then extracted with n-hexane, and the aqueous phase yielded was separated from organic phase. This aqueous phase was then introduced on a 60 F254 silica gel TLC plate with development liquid was butanol : acetic acid : water (BAW 4:1:5). It was showed one mark with Rf of 0.6. This mark was then scraped and extracted with methanol and it was then analyzed by FTIR spectrophotometer. This mark appeared specific IR spectra in wave number of 615.2 cm-1 which was indicated that C-I bond have been succeed formed. Those mean that an organo iodine desired was present in the aqueous phase.
